It Was Time to Pay (for) the Piper

I'm not much of a Dr. Who fan, to be honest. I have a hard time sitting down to watch movies or television shows. I named my kids after comic book characters, and I haven't even watched all of the Marvel films, let alone the DC ones and all the affiliated television shows for each universe. I was on the market for a Billie Piper autograph, though. I've seen a few episodes of Dr. Who with her in them, but I honestly blame The Rubberbandits, an irreverent comedy and music group out of Ireland, for my Billie Piper fandom. In their song "Horse Outside," they sing that the horse in question "looks like Billie Piper after half an ounce of coke." I guess that's not exactly complimentary, but I have a slight fixation on the song, and by extension a fandom of Billie Piper. She does have a rather large mouth, but I would hardly call her horse-like. Maybe those Rubberbandits lads have tied their grocery bags a little tight?


Anyway, after a long time I have finally snagged a Billie Piper autograph. This one comes from 2017 Topps Dr. Who Signature Series. This is the Yellow parallel, numbered # 18 / 25. This was a fun card to track down, and I am pretty excited about adding it to my collection.


Right now she's apparently got a charity fundraiser going, where purchasing tickets gets you a chance to win a trip to Broadway to see her show, "Yerma," and meet the cast. Pretty cool stuff, and nice that she's donating the proceeds to a good cause.
